I love the simplicity of these.
They would be perfect right by the front door for keys and such, or in the kitchen or bath for hand towels.

Katie and I met the charming Richard Shed a few years ago at ICFF and I picked up his “Here Hook” and it’s one of my favorite pieces.
The Here Hook is a great design piece and at only $10 you can grab a few. Would be great in a kitchen as a dish towel holder, in the bath as a towel hook, or in an entry as a coat rack.

This limited edition of the Big Clip might be more to your taste than the chrome version (which I could have sworn we posted before, but I guess not).
To celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the Big Clip this Halloween, We’ve made some stunning limited edition MATT BLACK Big Clips…The classic and universal POP object, the Big Clip is made from solid 10mm steel rod, powder coated matt black in the U.K. It measures 28cm, attaches to the wall or links to form a chain making a fantastic coat hook or magazine rack.

It’s rather unfortunate that there’s not better picture quality of each individual coat hanger/peg, but it’s not like the silhouettes of these famous composers are kept under wraps, so no big deal really.

Oh, why do things torture me so? This is an example of an item that in no way I have to have or even slightly need, but I want sort of badly. I actually saw these in New York at the store and had to suppress the urge to caress them. It’s that balance of beauty and craftsmanship, together making an item where, sure, it could be useful, but I certainly wouldn’t want to cover it with towels or clothes*. I would simply admire. And, yes, it’s an awful lot of money for a ladder that you wouldn’t actually use as a ladder, but that’s really not the point (or maybe it’s exactly the point).
19th-century orchard ladders are the inspiration for this series of decorative accents. Turned, hard maple components fit snugly together. Orchard ladders can accommodate throws, towels, clothes, or simply stand alone. Available in three sizes.
Designer: Paul Loebach
Materials: Hard maple
Dimensions: L 18″ x W 1.5″ x H 78″
$1,200.00, Buy it here.

This is the perfect example of a product that needs some TLC in terms of room setting photography. Sure, I can picture mail and keys hanging from it, imagine how incredibly handy it could be near my front door, etc., but maybe some other people just see a plain metal cover with a couple of knobs and a strange top and have no time to read descriptions. An image is worth a thousand words. (I’m tempted to photoshop a keyring in, is that nuts?)
Install the Key Switch atop an existing light switch cover for added functionality. The knobs at bottom hold your keys, and the top protrusion holds your mail. Ideal near a front door.
Designer: Paul Koh
Material: Powder coated Aluminum
Dimensions: 7.2 x 2.25 x 1 inches
Available for pre-order. Approximate ship date: 8/10/2009

I’d give a ‘tip of the hat’ to this Ribbon coat rack for being relatively affordable.
Inspired by a Ribbon blowing in the wind, Ribbon is a wall-mounted coat rack. Successfully merging function and art, when in use it holds up to 5 coats and scarves, but by itself is wall art.
Colours: White, black, red, bronze, yellow
Dimensions: ~L900.H150.D150mm
Materials: Powder coated mild steel
£55.00- £60.00, Buy it here.
